2018-12-26recipes: Drop virtual/libc-for-gccRichard Purdie
We no longer have special "libc" for gcc so we can rely on plain virtual/libc and reduce the complexity in the dependencies. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
2018-06-15tclibc-newlib: Adds a new TCLIBC variant to build with newlib as C libraryAlejandro Enedino Hernandez Samaniego
This patch adds the posibility to build using TCLIBC=newlib. It allows users to build baremetal applications with the use of a C library. Newlib is a lightweight C library meant to be used on embedded systems, it is meant to be easily portable for new platforms and to provide basic functionality on them, by design, it provides stubs for some of these core functions declared as weak, so they can be built correctly and then linked against some other library which provides specifics about the platform being used if need be, libgloss takes care of these in some cases, but it can also be extended, this patch also allows the user to easily add other libraries to it by adding them to NEWLIB_EXTENDED for this specific reason.

2018-06-15newlib: Adds newlib and libgloss recipesAlejandro Enedino Hernandez Samaniego
Newlib is a C library that is intended to be used on embedded systems. It is a conglomeration of several library parts, all under free software licenses that make them easily usable on embedded products. Newlib provides a C library alternative that can run on baremetal, mainly for resource constrained devices. Libgloss is the BSP part of the C library, which can be easily modified to port for new hardware platforms. Signed-off-by: Alejandro Enedino Hernandez Samaniego <alejandr@xilinx.com>
